— have you thought about who you wanna be when you grow up?
— not yet.
— right. it's not a thing one should think about, but simply become.

the second-year woodcut assignment
I miss the Repin Academy. I long for the building itself — its high walls hidden by darkness in the evening, and the silence falling over the studios.

"To School", tempera on paper, 2024
It was my composition assignment during my second year at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts.

I used to cross right through the crimson fire.
Is this one daily practice just a little sign
Of inner liberty to be admired,
Or a subconscious desire
For rapid suicide?
